Tim Richter took his Webelos II den hiking on 9-18-09 at Rails to Trails in Elkmont, AL. It had been raining most of that day. But, God blessed us with a beautiful afternoon - perfect for hiking. While on the hike, he taught them some information they will need to earn their Forester Activity Pin. They learned to identify several trees. They learned which plants to avoid in the forest such as poison ivy. He also helped them learn the 12 points of the Boy Scout Law by getting them to repeat it as a team all during the hike. By the end of the hike many of the boys had memorized it because of his help. They hiked 3 miles. They were hungry and tired at the end of the day, but they had a blast! Many thanks goes out to Sandra Britnell for contributing such great photos for this website. Be sure to click on the slideshow above to see how much fun everyone had!

Austin Britnell's Article about the Upcoming Scouting Year - He wrote this to satisfy one of his Communicator Webelos Activity Pin requirements.

“Hi, my name is Austin Britnell and I am a Webelos II Scout. I am sad because this is my last year in Cub Scouts, but I know it will be fun. I can’t wait until Cub Haunted and I am looking forward to going to the campout on the USS Alabama again!! Hopefully it won’t be too cold this year for our Christmas Parade. In February we will have our Pinewood Derby. Last year I placed 2nd. I can’t wait to see how I do this year. We will celebrate the end of the year with our annual Blue and Gold Banquet. We always have lots of yummy food! After all the fun things this year I will have my bridging ceremony and then I will be a Boy Scout. Then the fun will start all over again!”
